2 lakhs with Rs 22,100 crores in disbursements facilitated by AAs in second half of FY24. "Average loan ticket size in this period stood at Rs 1,04,245 and is expected to reduce as we expect more cash-flow based lending to MSMEs and unsecured loans to new to credit customers," Sahamati said, in a statement.

"Individuals can now access or share machine readable, tamper-proof data from these sources, through their AA apps or web pages for self use or for FIUs. The explicit, informed consent-based system, in turn, gives them control over their own data," Sahamati said.

The reliability, convenience, and security of data sharing through AA platforms brings down the transaction costs for the lenders by nearly 20-25%," it claimed. "More importantly, real-time data access reduces the cases of fraud to nil, making the entire system more efficient.

For customers, along with the convenience, modular, purpose-based data sharing through AA significantly reduces the risk of misuse of data," it said. "As reported by one of the lending firms, access to online data enabled them to lend 30% more for priority sector lending for loans processed through AA," Sahamati said. BG Mahesh, chief executive, Sahamati, said, “We have seen a steady 15% monthly growth on the number of cumulative consent requests being fulfilled on the AA framework.

Each consent request represents the fact that more and more individuals are now in control of their data and are using it for accessing financial services .” “Lending firms have been the first few players who have adopted the AA framework for their ongoing business. The authenticity of data on AA framework, along with the ease of use, results in higher operational efficiencies and a high reduction in fraud cases through tampered documentations.

We are glad to see a steady increase in the usage of AA for making financial services more accessible to the masses,” he added. Sahamati is working on defining fair use templates that set limits on data usage and is also developing the technology infrastructure to detect and enforce adherence to these templates programmatically, it said..
